Field Trips Cut as Fresno Unified Cuts Budget | Fresno News

Fresno Unified is axing field trips for students from transitional kindergarten through sixth grade starting in 2026-2027, slashing over $2 million from enrichment programs — but schools still have their own budgets, which many can’t afford. Popular events like the sixth-grade science camp, now potentially costing families up to $360 per child, are at risk as principals scramble to raise funds — some estimating they need $50K just for one camp. Parents are furious, especially since they chose the district for these opportunities. With only until April to act, schools feel abandoned and forced to fundraise on their own, exposing how budget cuts ripple through student experiences.
